THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Dean of Women immediately..
"Little items are taken all the
time," said Carlson, "but shop
lifting is especially prevalent dur.
ing the first two weeks of each
semester. That is when we are /
busiest and don't have enough
clerks to watch carefully."
Pens and pencils are the items
primarily stolen. They are dis
played on top of the cases in
easy reach. Carlson said last
week two $4 pens were taken
within 10 minutes.
The BX will put pens and pen
cils in special glass cases starting
next fall. Meanwhile they have
been placed where clerks can
watch them closely.
Carlson has also instituted a
monthly inventory which he feels
will be helpful in checking on
,shoplifting.
Carlson cited "bouncing"
chicks as another problem
which the BX frequently faces.
Persons who pass bad checks
at the BX will continue to be
turned over to the dean of men
or the dean of women.
The BX has added a system of
price-labeling to its self-service
to make shopping quicker and
easier. Prices are clearly marked
on all items and students can get
quick check-out service at the
cashier.
It has also adopted a policy of
selling merchandise (except fair
traded items) at a lower price
than it would cost in a State Col
lege store, Carlson said.
The BX, technically a non
profit organisation, was start
ed In 1949 with a $2OOO gift from
the senior class of 1949.
It tries to maintain its 'non
profit status by refunding 50
cents to each student who buys
of time. Each time a student makes
$5 in merchandise over a period
a purchase, he is given a purchase
slip. When he accumulateS $5
worth of these slips, he can turn
them in for a cash refund.

TIM Sends
Letters On
New Club
Town Independent Men Coun
cil has sent out letters to about
200 students explaining the pro
posed Club TIM to a random
sampling of town independents.
The letters will be followed by
telephone calls by council mem
bers•to the students who received
the letters. The students will be
asked four questions:
•Did they receive the letter?
•What do they think of the
idea?
•Do they have any questions'
about the plan?
•Would they be willing to pay(
a.nominal fee to support the club?;
Charles Bartholomew, chairman,
of the project, said the Univer-'
sity is considering setting up and;
organizing such an organization;
for independent men downtown.i
As a result of the election of;
four new council members, a re-'
vised constitutional amendment
was presented by Jack Kaufman
which would allow a council
member to nominate a student to'
fill a vacancy:
Formerly the constitution said
that when a vacancy occurs with
in the council, except for the
council officers, a new member
shall be nominated by a petition
signed by 20 town independent
men and elected by the council
The new members elected were
Earl Hunsicker, Allan Gummo,
Ronald Jordan and Frank Gu
thier. The council also accented
the resignation of Joseph Shea
due to other committments.
- Donald Farabaugh, social chair
man, said about 200 students at
tended a record hop held in con
junction with radio station WDFM
last Saturday.
Due to its success, Farabaugh
said, another hop will be held
from 2 to 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in
the Hetzel Union ballroom. It
will be open to the public.
